Around the AL West 2022

So…you’re saying it’s not all talk about grabbing pussy?

Ms ponying up for Rodriguez:

To think we balked at paying Ryan a million a year. Still had plenty of gas in the tank and at least another no hitter. But a prudently made decision financially and historically at the time.

No. A million times no. You could not possibly be more wrong.

PS He pitched two no-hitters as a Ranger.

Based on an older pitcher. Should have kept him, and yes, I thought he had two. Couldn’t remember for sure. Why I said at least. Just remember one more being great. Easy to root for also, because we weren’t in the same division and league! :crazy_face:

McMullen was unloading payroll ahead of a sale.

No baseball reasoning employed.

McMullen should be remembered by all as the worst of owners. Of course beers weren’t $12 either.

Also last night…the A’s were mathematically eliminated from the Postseason.

Texas Tech Red Raider Josh Jung just hit a home run in his first Major League at bat vs the Blue Jays.

Way to wreck 'em Josh! Never do it against the Astros.

He was expressing something about the duality of man

$30MM deal for '23 avoiding arbitration. Still a significant bargain for the Angels given the $50MM++++ he would earn on the open market.

Wonderful moment in Oakland as Stephen Vogt homered in his last career AB.

He also homered in his first AB.

Oh, and his kids announced his appearance on the PA.

Outstanding!
This link starts with his last AB and captures the celebrations.

Bochy the apparent front-runner for the managerial job there. The Rangers have gone with first-timers ever since firing Buck Showalter after the '06 season (Ron Washington, Jeff Banister, Chris Woodward).
